Neighborhood Meeting Next Wednesday (1/7/16) at 6:30 pm

Come out to the first neighborhood meeting of 2016 next Wednesday, January 7th from 6:30 - 8:00 pm at Mt. Scott Community Center. This year we hope to see more improvements to the Arleta Triangle (capping of the stone wall and prep-work for future hardscape of the plaza), a summer BBQ, more neighborhood v. neighborhood kickball games, and more apple cider making.

In 2015, our neighborhood volunteers completed our Neighborhood Street Tree Inventory; built a new stone wall at the Arleta Triangle; had tremendous turnout to our Annual Neighborhood Clean Up; played kickball with FoPo, Creston-Kenilworth, and Lents, and pressed over 650 pounds of apples for fresh apple cider.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD VOLUNTEERS!

If you would like to get involved in a neighborhood project or have a neighborly idea, event, or project that you would like to start please contact Erika at msana.chair@gmail.com. Hope to see you in 2016!
